Tesla’s Website Through The Years

6 years ago Johnna Crider 0 Comments

It’s a new year, a new decade, and a new Tesla. As we zoom into 2020, we can look back over the years and see how not only Tesla the company has evolved but also its website.

The 2010s are the decade we are finishing, but Tesla’s website history goes back to 2007, so this is where we will begin. (There was even a time in which many thought we were all going to die in 2012 — Mayan Prophecy — but we survived and so did Tesla, luckily.)

Solar Power World has published a list of the largest solar panel manufacturers in the US by capacity.

To date, seven of those rooftop installations have caught fire, causing millions of dollars in structural damage and lost sales.
